My admiration for the gentlewoman is increased as I stand in awe of her ability to coin euphemisms. because what we are talking about is comparable worth. Calling it pay equity does not change the reality. It is something that we indulge in these euphemisms a lot. We call illegal aliens "undocumented workers." and I often have thought that was like calling a drug peddler an "unlicensed pharmacist." or a bank robber a "holder not in due course." We are talking about comparable worth so let us not indulge in any selfdeception. I also think it is important to remember that the history of freedom is the history of resisting excessive governmental intrusion. That is what freedom is all about.
